ESPN Underrates Hornets Star Kemba Walker as the 27th Best Player in the NBA

As we all know, Kemba Walker is an incredible player and one of the best NBA players Charlotte has ever had. He has been the best player for the Hornets for some time now, and recently he finally got recognized for it. Over his past two All-Star seasons, Walker has averaged 22.5 points with 48/38/86 shooting split. He has also averaged 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and over 1 steal per game. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Walker is an NBA star.

At first glance, I had no problem with Walker’s ranking. He does many, many good things, but he has yet to become great in several key categories.
